Genius.
France are off to a flier in the first one of the Six Nations with the men in blue leading Italy by 24 points to 3 thanks to a first-half masterclass from scrumhalf Antoine Dupont.
The 24-year-old has been nothing short of electric, playing a pivotal role in almost everything Les Blues do, once again reaffirming he is the best nine in the world right now.
Dylan Cretin scored France’s first try thanks to some lovely play in the build-up from Teddy Thomas before the Dupont show took over.
He started with an excellent kick for France’s second, finished by Gael Fickou.
🤩
It took Antoine Dupont just 27 minutes to produce a piece of absolute MAGIC in this Guinness Six Nations!
What a little kick through for Fickou to finish! #ITAvFRA #GuinnessSixNations #VMTVRugby pic.twitter.com/pT3SGUOJSz

And then somehow managed to top that with a simply beautiful no-look offload to put Arthur Vincent in for France’s third try. The man is nothing short of a genius.
